UN Commission on Sustainable Development Food Conferences
Register for City Farm Linkages Learning Event Sunday May 11 at Teachers College
The global food crisis, climate change and sustainable agriculture are among the many topics that will be addressed by leaders of farmers, women, indigenous peoples, trade union, youth and other major groups of civil society around the world. Representatives of civil society and government delegations will share their reflections on the first week of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development and debate the way forward for food and farming systems of the world.
The City and Farm Linkages Showcase for CSD puts the best of New York and US food and farming system innovations on display as part of hosting and learning from equally creative food and farm movements around the world! You are invited to actively participate in a day-long symposium at Teachers College, with plenary and workshop sessions described in the program now available [this file was too large for one of the lists. If it didn't go through - email me. I'll send it to you]. Translation into French and Spanish will be provide in plenary sessions. A sack lunch and beverages will also be provided.
